College Athletics (Recruiting?)

I’m a junior in high school, and I recently received a letter from a Top 20 LAC that read, “Thank you for your interest in ___ College [Sport]. You are the kind of outstanding athletic and academic prospective we hope to attract to our program.”

The thing is, I never expressed interest in this school (at least, I don’t remember doing so) and I highly doubt I’m college athlete material. I only started playing as a freshman – two years of JV and one of Varsity so far, plus some rec league on the side. Did they contact me through the PSAT or something like that? I don’t remember any questionnaire questions on sports, though.

The letter was signed in pen at the end and they attached a questionnaire for me to fill out and return, but I’m still doubtful that this is serious. Does anyone know about this?

Thanks!
